Math Problem Statement

a + b - c = r/m solve for b

Solution

To solve the equation a+bc=rma + b - c = \frac{r}{m} for bb, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the original equation: a+bc=rma + b - c = \frac{r}{m}

  2. To isolate bb, first add cc to both sides of the equation: a+b=rm+ca + b = \frac{r}{m} + c

  3. Next, subtract aa from both sides: b=rm+cab = \frac{r}{m} + c - a

So, the equation solved for bb is: b=rm+cab = \frac{r}{m} + c - a

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. How would the expression for bb change if mm were to equal 1?
  2. What is the value of bb if r=0r = 0?
  3. How does changing aa affect the value of bb?
  4. What would the equation look like if you doubled the value of cc?
  5. Can you express bb in terms of mm if rr is dependent on mm?

Tip: When isolating a variable, ensure you perform the operations step-by-step to maintain the equation's integrity.
